// This sample code creates a new CSV file (sample.csv)
// that contains this content:
// 
// year,color,country,food
// 2001,red,France,cheese
// 2005,blue,"United States",hamburger

$csv = new CkCsv();

// Indicate that the 1st row
// should be treated as column names:
$csv->put_HasColumnNames(true);

$success = $csv->SetColumnName(0,'year');
$success = $csv->SetColumnName(1,'color');
$success = $csv->SetColumnName(2,'country');
$success = $csv->SetColumnName(3,'food');

$success = $csv->SetCell(0,0,'2001');
$success = $csv->SetCell(0,1,'red');
$success = $csv->SetCell(0,2,'France');
$success = $csv->SetCell(0,3,'cheese');

$success = $csv->SetCell(1,0,'2005');
$success = $csv->SetCell(1,1,'blue');
$success = $csv->SetCell(1,2,'United States');
$success = $csv->SetCell(1,3,'hamburger');

$csvDoc = $csv->saveToString();
print $csvDoc . "\n";

$success = $csv->SaveFile('out.csv');
